Oh god I hope not. As a student without a job, ebay and article writing are pretty much my only sources of income. Because of the last strike, there was less seller activity -which means less buyer activity. Now I'm lucky if I can sell 1 out of 10 items I put up.

I've actually thought of moving to new sites but I don't seem to like any of them. Ebay may have annoying fees but I'm too used to their system for anything else :( They've brainwashed me! HELP!

It IS hard, bu you will find that a lot of the sites have the same general set up as EBAY. They take a little getting used to, but in the end, I feel it is well worth it not to pad ebays pocketbooks all the while draining mine

I have not heard anything about it. I found out about the first one a few days into it on myspace. I am on myspace constantly now promoting my biz. I don't think as many people are selling on ebay as they once were. Their fees have gone way up. I won't sell on there anymore. I have etsy and ecrater.

My friend (who is constantly selling on eBay) mentioned something about the final value fees going up through the roof. Now for someone who buys something at $1 USD and sells it for $1000 USD, they are going to pay a LOT more than before. She has suggested other sites, but I don't think they have as much traffic as eBay. She did mention something about another boycott of sellers, but that was a month ago.
